University Design. The Integrator. By David J. Staley.

<p><strong>I</strong>n his recent <a href="https://ingeniousu.org/" target="_blank">Ingenious Blog</a> article, <a href="https://history.osu.edu/people/staley.3" target="_blank">David Staley</a> reviews Chris Gallagher&#39;s book &quot;<a href="https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/authors/chris-w-gallagher" target="_blank">The Integrator&quot;,</a> which calls for a new vision for higher education. Gallagher is critical of the current push towards &#39;unbundling&#39; and suggests that colleges and universities will need to be neither unbundled nor rebundled, but rather <em>integrated</em>. Gallagher suggests that &#39;we need to shape the kind of integrative learning and learners that can confront the complex challenges of the twenty-first century.&#39; He also introduces the idea of an &#39;Integrator&#39;, a mentor, a non-expert, and a generalist, who guides students through their integrative learning journeys.</p> <p>Staley appreciates Gallagher&#39;s innovative outlook, emphasizing the importance of creating a learning environment where students enact both depth and breadth of learning. Staley&#39;s review highlights the potential of a new educational framework that promotes learning not just content but also how to think like an expert in a particular field, something that is needed now more than ever.  Read more or listen here.</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chelip/message
